Friction Components and Systems Ltd can supply a comprehensive range of emergency and yaw brake
callipers and pads. FCS has developed and is manufacturing specialist emergency brake and yaw (swing
brake damper) pads for the wind turbine industry in its modern, well-equipped workshops in Glasgow,
Scotland and Burnley, England. FCS brake pads have achieved low wear rates on mating surfaces, low
noise and high performance at economic prices, using the latest technology in braking materials. FCS also
offers an excellent range of emergency brake callipers for turbine applications from 20Kw to the largest
turbines in operation. The company can produce and advise on most applications and produce bespoke
items accordingly.
Friction Components offers lightweight, noise-free systems for braking in wind turbines. Our innovative approach to noise reduction is central to our comprehensive range of brake pads and calliper systems. We understand that minimising noise is crucial for the widespread acceptance of wind energy, and our solutions are designed to meet this need effectively.
At Friction Components, we provide a modern, specialist facility dedicated to the wind turbine industry. We manufacture emergency brake, yaw pads, and associated calliper systems, ensuring top-tier performance for emergency and active rotor brakes. Our brake pads leverage the latest technology in braking materials, offering proven high performance, low wear rates, low noise, and anti-squeal solutions.
Friction Components & Systems is a global leader in quality industrial friction materials, providing
high-end products at competitive prices and our engineering staff have many years of experience in
the friction industry.
We distribute a comprehensive range of friction materials for most forms of brake and clutch applications. We are also able
